Police warn of vehicle break-ins

The Pontiac Police Department is dealing with another rash of burglaries, this time pertaining to vehicles located in the areas of Vermillion Estates and Motorola Drive.

Pontiac Police Major Dan Davis said the calls came in to the department early Thursday morning, and as of Thursday afternoon, a total of 16 burglaries had been reported, with more possible.

Davis said that the majority of the vehicles that were broken into were missing miscellaneous items, from car radios to cigarettes. He also said a large number of the vehicles were left unlocked during the overnight hours.

Davis said the burglaries are under investigation.

Two days earlier, on Tuesday, three garage burglaries were reported in the area of Cimmeron Drive in northeast Pontiac. As of Thursday, the police have no leads to those three burglaries and they are still under investigation.

Davis said he wanted to remind everyone to lock car doors and doors and windows inside homes as many, but not all, of the burglaries have been committed due to unlocked doors and windows.

Multiple burglaries were reported throughout the end of November. The three men that were arrested, Brandon Somers, Gilbert Edwards and Timothy Rork Jr., all remain in Livingston County Jail as of Thursday afternoon.
